CMS Employment & Pensions Global Brochure

Harnessing employment and pension law to navigate the new world of work

The world of employment law and human resources has undergone some seismic changes over the past couple of years – some caused, and some accelerated, by Covid-19.

Never before have employee-related issues been under so much scrutiny. In the wake of the post-pandemic ‘Great Resignation’ it is no longer a question of what employees can do for the employer but what employers can do for their employees.

Diversity, Equity & Inclusion, pay transparency, remote working, mental health and wellbeing, and whistle-blower safeguarding are topping the corporate agenda. Executive teams must ask themselves if they are nurturing a healthy corporate culture, attracting hires with a good diversity of backgrounds and skills, delivering the right learning and development programs, and ensuring robust data protection and cyber security for staff wherever they work.

And in a fast-shifting world, those that don’t address these issues are exposing themselves to significant commercial risk.

As one of the world’s largest law firms, with 9,800 professionals and staff operating across four continents, CMS has first-hand experience of employment matters of all kinds. As a dynamic, multi-cultural international business, we are tackling these same challenges as our clients. In many cases we are finding solutions together.

If there is an employment initiative you’d like to partner on with CMS in this new world of work, or any legal issue you need to discuss, we’re here and ready to help. Check out the brochure about the team that offers just a snapshot of our capabilities in this area.
